Well, added some brand name american zoas and the copperband is doing well. In fact all the new corals added recently have been doing well.

So my new update is a 600x600x300 shallow reef cube.. We sold the old big tank and went with a nice small cube been 6 weeks now and we have some lps corals and softies in the tank with 4 clown and one cleaner shrimp... The light is a DIY unit till we move the tank under the zetlight zs7000 still working on the stand to cover it with pine wood.. Ts1 skimmer with the ts 2 pump 1200 lt return pump and tunze wave maker bubble meguse carbon reactor. Cheato and ruble Rock in the sump 15kg of Rock from the old tank and 3 kg of new rock with 10kg suger fine reef sand.. Still a long way to go for a new setup....

Some awesome additions this month
Finally added the black cladding to my setup and it's really finished it off nicely!

Finally got my second Hydra 26 up so I'm running two in parallel now for better spread and coverage.

Also got two beautiful acro frags from @Joshua1 so a big thanks to him

Quick snap of some browned out pocillapora that I am busy reviving

And the FTS

Update for the month. No new additions but everything running smoothly. Tank needs a clean though.

Frag tank looks like it is starting to settle in nicely. Algae starting to slow down. Need more time to spend on this tank though.

 

[Joshua1]

Upgraded my skimmer to a BM Curve 9 and added some SPS colonies
